yeah, it's the cheapo plastic quick-connect fitting on the metal pipe that leads to the water pump
get the replacement hose, and break the fitting down there and just clamp the hose onto the pipe itself.
i did that about 1.5 years ago. car started leaking hard from there while i was out of state on my way home... had to tape it up and fix it when i got back.
it's very hard to tell that it's leaking unless you can get your hand back there and feel it without thinking it's just dripdown from your initial leak problem.
